The No. 15 ranked Mid-Prairie boys soccer team saw their season come to a close Wednesday at Memorial Field as the No. 5 West Liberty Comets earned a bid to the state tournament with a 3-0 win. West Liberty scored just two minutes into the contest to grab the early advantage. Both teams settled in after that, with the Comets controlling possession but playing even for the rest of the half on the scoreboard.

After the match, Mid-Prairie head coach Pat Cady talked about the season and his seniors. “I told them as long as we left everything on the field tonight when we left and just got beat by a better team then I would be proud of them. They did that. I am proud of them. This has been the best club
